Ben Shapiro isn't stupid. He is talking to stupid people, because stupid people give him power by following him.
Ben Shapiro is a conservative, which is to say he is a narcissist. He will say anything that benefits himself, and it is justified because he is Ben Shapiro, and Ben Shapiro believes Ben Shapiro is good. Therefore, if Ben Shapiro needs to lie, or obfuscate the truth, or speak to the emotions of his followers, he is righteous because it helps him win.
He is not concerned with reality unless reality helps him win. Ben Shapiro sees himself as a Nascar driver, and the truth is a frog hopping across the track. He's in a mindset that does not even register dishonesty as it's farting out of the large hole in his face.
He's talking to the people who will never see the replies calling him stupid. He's talking to the people who, like him, believe that they are the inherently righteous. They may or may not be stupid, but that doesn't matter to them at all. Ignorance isn't possible when you are good, because being good means you know and understand everything that a good person needs to know and understand. Anything more is elitist snobbery and deliberately confusing.
His asshole must be jealous of the shit coming out of his mouth though.
He's a professional who has spent his whole life aspiring to be the next Tucker Carlson (who aspired to be the next William F. Buckley).
His entire career has been predicated on far-right ideologues promoting his identity as a brand. Dude is entirely a product of celebrity and he spends every waking hour working on the next self-promotion. If his mouth is dropping turds, that is only because shitting out your gullet is what publishers and media magnets want to see in their spokesmodels.
If only Ben had been a staked 10/10 hottie or a roided up macho man, he'd be running for governor by now.
That moment you realize height requirements for holding public office is the only thing standing between democracy and fascism...
You're absolutely right.
Dude thinks a wet vagina is a sign of health issues and not excitement... Ben doesn't know the first thing about bodily functions. He probably even thinks that shit smell on his breath is normal.
My breath smells like shit, yours doesn't, check mate libruls.
I would say he's cunning, but he's definitely not intelligent.
That's the only video you really have to watch to understand Ben.
No lies detected. I'm glad to see other people realizing that "Conservatism" and it's uglier cousins, Authoritarianism and Fascism, are emergent from mass scale narcissism.
Also - I've read somewhere on the internet - that he, and this is not me saying this but the internet by the way, that he, Ben Sharpie, thinks about his sister a lot. It's just something I've read somewhere I believe.
The one thing I have in common with Ben Shapiro.
While there are other options than to become a conservative, conservatives are stupid.
I don’t think it’s strictly a generation but more location.
You could go to certain provinces and states all around the world and find all generations in the same stupid echo chamber. Hence red /blue states. Also what their socioeconomic background is is a huge factor.
He's pretty damn stupid.
